Division members have excellent opportunities for collaborative educational and research endeavors, and a key role of the Head will be to ensure rewarding and fulfilling career development. An academic appointment at the appropriate level will be granted in the Department of Surgery of Dalhousie University.  The Department offers a renumeration package under an alternative funding plan. Other requirements include certification in orthopedic surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or equivalent with eligibility for licensure by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia.  Qualifications and expertise in research or education are considered important attributes. Application instructions: Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae with names and addresses of three references by June 15, 2026 to: Dr. Gail Darling [email protected] QEII Health Sciences Center 1276 South Park Street, Suite 8-838 Victoria Building, Halifax, NS  B3H 2Y9 All those interested are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
